Speaking of draft blunders, does anyone remember when the Minnesota Vikings actually passed on their 1st round pick? They were too slow, so other teams starting picking ahead of them.

The Jaguars won out on that, at least until history looks back and realizes that the pick the Jags took was Byron Leftwich, who was an awesome competitor but had a release so slow that officials that had experience working basketball games wanted to flag him for a shot clock violation.

Was that the draft? Vikings wound up taking Kevin Williams, who was pretty damn good for them.

Yep. I'm trying to remember if Jacksonville traded up with Baltimore to take advantage or if Baltimore picked and then the Jags got in, but it was kind of a big deal here since it was the first time the Jaguars had actually drafted a QB high in the draft. (They did, however, draft a WR who was always high, both before, and after, and after again, and after again again even, and I might be leaving out another one).

(I just looked it up. Baltimore was trading up to 7 with Minnesota to pick Leftwich but that fell through, so the Jags ran the card up.)

Ah, the Jaguars. Yeah, as soon as you drafted Marqise Lee and Allen Robinson, that's when everyone realized Blackmon was done with you. And perhaps the NFL. Such a shame, 5th overall pick who just doesn't care about anything.

Final score makes it seem more lopsided than watching the first few quarters indicate. At one point in the 3rd you were even winning.

3 7:28 54 — 53 A. Vindžegalskis (H) grabs the defensive rebound.
3 7:05 54 — 55 A. Vindžegalskis (H) opens up the play with a pass to S. Jussila (H). S. Jussila (H) tries a driving layup. Scored.
3 7:05 54 — 55 The shot was assisted by A. Vindžegalskis (H).

Congrats and well played. Jussilla's game is exactly why I am dumping him.....4-15 from the field.

Yeah, looking at his skills, I'm not really sure why his PP100 was estimated to be so low. With that ridiculous shooting you'd think it'd at least be a bit higher.

Probably because he actually made four shots. If he had gone 2-16, he'd have a 99.5 PP100 or so.

So it's you and me. At least both of us are getting trophies, even if one of them is Silver.
